The trio are joined by Pick Everard and Rider Levett Bucknall. 

Dividing up the 11-lot framework was based on both discipline and project value. 

Other big names to win places on the deal are Gleeds, Mott MacDonald and Turner & Townsend.

Lots 12 and 13, which covered NEC supervisor and clerks of works services respectively, were unlet as either no tenders or requests to participate were received or all were rejected.
